CD Review:
Mandolin Hymns and Appalachian Mandolin & Dulcimer

The impact of these two projects just takes your breathe away…I never would have thought to pair a mandolin and dulcimer, but it worked, and it’s one of the sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard. Each song on this project kept getting better and better. I loved it and found both of these CD’s VERY ENTERTAINING.

If you love the sound of a mandolin then these projects are for you. Butch is one of the best mandolin players in bluegrass and he showcases that talent on these projects. All of the melodies on these CD’s are well-known traditional themes. If you listened to these projects and your toes weren’t tapping, something is definitely wrong. I loved both of these CD’s and by the response on my request line I knew that my audience enjoyed them as well. I played both cd’s from start to finish and my listeners wanted to know when I would be playing them again. Per their request I will be playing many of the cuts they have enjoyed over the next few weeks. There is no doubt I will be carrying these CD’s with me for many weeks to come. Thank You for sharing your fine projects with us.
